For a while now when ever im going ANYTHING from youtube to metro LL benchmarks to World of tanks my computer will just freeze and then all the screens blackout and the only way to get any video back is to restart the comp via the reset switch and after its done starting windows tells me I did not shut it down correctly so its not some sort of fatal windows error. I sometimes (read VERY rarely) am lucky enough to have the system recover to witch I always find both cards reset to defalt (read no longer OCed) speeds but the only "reset" when i DONT just hard reset the system, only on the very rare times it recovers does it set them to normal and its always accompanyed by the message "open GLdriver has lost conection with display" or "DX11 device disconected" However when ever its not able to recover (read 95% of the time) it NEVER resets the cards or gives any error messages. Does anyone know what the hell is going on? They have done this since day one but ive been kind of just dealing with it as it normaly takes them two or so hours to crash. Im useing a 5760x1080 setup if that matters.....

try disconnecting both cards, and switching their location ( switch pci-e slots)

i know it may sound silly, but just disconnecting the card and connecting it back again, solves alot of problems.

and can you please specify the rest of your system?

yeah they dont make any differance (had the cards since release day) and my rig is an i7 2600k@5.2 ghz on an asrock Z68 fatal1y pro gen 3 with 32 gigs of corsair vengance 1600@2133 and its all running off a OCZ ZX 1250watt PSU, I a sound card (soundblaster Z) if that matters but I do have the hdmi audio from the g-cards disabled as well as onboard sound to pervent a conflict with the sound card.

Well then iam gonna go ahead and say its probably caused from ur high resolution, since its probably not programmed very well to run like that.

most likely you wont be able to fix it, and the only solution well be to change reso( or giving up on one screen)
or maybe its just that the hardware is damaged( highly unlikely)
sorry i wasnt able to help you, maybe theres someone out there with more suggestions on how to fix your problem
